Thanks aka pounder!
I'm going to replace the intake gaskets while I'm at it. She's an '02 with 78k on the clock. Anyone recommend a gasket over the stock OEM parts from the dealer?

Where did you get the 90 degree fitting you just posted? Will that let me skip the double adapter pictured in other posts shown in this thread? Is it -an4 to 16 mm?

Thanks, and just so I'm clear, the 3/8" pipe thread is equivalent to the 16mm x 1.5 threaded base of the sensor? I realize pipe thread is different from standard threaded hardware, just making sure before I buy hardware that the link to the adapter is for the correct size.
